The Star Wars discussion/SPOILER thread

[K8teebug]

Am I the only one who is just totally over Star Wars? I think I probably am.

I'm sure there are others.  I'm not one of them, but I imagine others are over the franchise.  The prequels almost killed the franchise ( though I have grown to actually enjoy those as well).

^ video with a few "secrets"

I forgot to comeback and tell you how far down the rabbit hole this video led me.

I clicked it on Tuesday night while watching the Halo's and just kept going....kept watching more secrets and theory videos after the Angels game and before I knew it, it was well after midnight.

Thanks for that.

Would that it were so simple.

I think we have reached critical mass in regards to Chewbacca Mom.  Please go away, lady.

i was just thinking the same thing.  i was watching a movie, and one of the trailers was rogue one and it still got me right there, with the things I know about the movie, from online spoilers.  can't wait.

[walkie,talkie]

ooh look . . . old kill,sally and old walkonby posts, in storm,trooper white.

I was not aware, that tickets for the new star wars movie, coming out this month, are already for sale.

It's really one of my least favorite Wilco albums.

[walkie,talkie]

you know, I have never listened to them ever, not once or knew anything about them.  then that album comes out, and I put it in my queue on Spotify.  the marketing effect they went for, worked.  I seem to remember it was good, maybe half ok because I only listened once, and I have this odd ritual some,times that an album really has to hook me, even if just a bit hooked me, if I am going to even remember the damn thing.

I don't believe you.

95% of people who frequent here I would not believe had never listened to Wilco. Walkie falls into the 5% where I absolutely believe he'd never knowingly listened to the band. That rings true.

Can you please rewrite that sentence for a simple dolt like me? Too many double negatives combined with math and you've left me confused.

Sure:

I, like you,would generally find a claim of "someone on here never having listened to Wilco" as unlikely. But this is Walkie. I believe virtually any otherwise-insane claim if its about Walkie. If Walkie claimed he'd never eaten spaghetti I would go "hmm. . . sounds legit."
